PICKLEBALL TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES
Training for pickleball skill sets 3.0 and below
Jerry and Paula Steger, who are 4.0 rated players, are providing pickleball drill sessions for players rated 3.0 and below on Tuesdays at noon. Just show up at the courts and look for Jerry and Paula.
Training for pickleball skill sets 3.5 and above
Larry Kraus, who is a 4.5 rated player, is providing pickleball drill sessions for players rated 3.5 and above at noon on Tuesdays following the ladder play. There will be a signup sheet posted at the courts so Larry had an idea of the number of participants. If you fail to get signed up, you might try to walk up, just find Larry at the courts and ask if you can join.
LADDER PLAY
Ladder play is taking place each Tuesday at 10:00 AM. A sign-up sheet on the board in the middle of the courts on which to sign up and post standings. Please sign up no later than noon on the Monday before the Tuesday play, if you are interested in playing. Play is open to all levels and is open to men and women. It's a great way to challenge yourself and better assess your skill level when compared to players at a similar rating level.
IT'S PARTY TIME
On January 21, 2016 (Thursday), after the resident tournament, a social function and general meeting will be held. This social function and meeting will be in the Hermosa Ballroom at the Ranch House beginning at 5:30 PM. Pizza, salad, cookies and tableware will be provided. The ballroom bar will be open for beverage purchases. Members may bring a desert to share should you wish.
